My coverage of the Presidential candidates and their children continues and, this time, it is with none other than Chelsea Clinton. Though Chelsea has the most campaign experience of the entire stock of candidates’ offspring, she has always been reserved with regards to speaking to the press. In fact, she's never granted an interview.
Chelsea, from what I saw and heard, simply wants to support her mother at this crucial time. She is passionate about her mother’s quest, the social improvement she believes her mother can achieve for the country and in the overall well being of the world. I have been told by those who have seen Chelsea lecture publicly that she is gifted to the point she could hold office herself one day - "if" she were so inclined. Needless to say, I was sensitive to Chelsea’s reluctance to speak to media, yet intrigued over the opportunity to gain a closer look.

Keeping up with Chelsea wasn’t easy. Most of the campaigns are spread extremely thin in terms of manpower and money, which makes matters difficult enough. Factoring in the constant swerves and changes that arise on a minute-by-minute basis during the primaries makes it increasingly difficult to pinpoint exactly when and where members of a candidacy will be. Luckily, the good old Internet gave me the clues I needed to track the campaign to the best degree possible and enabled me to keep up with Team Chelsea efficiently.
All matters considered, I knew any kind of “official” interview with Chelsea would not be possible. But, through her and her handlers, we would be able to say hello. More importantly, we were granted the proper access to be able acutely observe her throughout her day.
Like the rest of the candidates' children, Chelsea’s day was stacked with various rallies and events. However, because Chelsea is also well-known, she had even more pressure and less time. Where others in her position could, at least, enjoy minute breaks during what little downtime exists, Chelsea is continually inundated with small talk as well as requests for handshakes, photos and answers to questions that range from the political to the mundane. Her meals came in the form of a bag lunch which was placed in her car, to be consumed in what is her only chance to eat: during drives to later destinations. She flies commercially as well which may not seem so grand a gesture except when you consider, again, the fact that she is a well known public figure. Through it all, like her father and mother, the positive energy, and the patience she displayed, never ceased to exude.
